Abstract
This article considers the reforms enacted by Part III of the Matrimonial and Family Proceedings Act 1984 (the M.F.P.A.). and discusses whether or not they provide a panacea for the problem they were designed to cure, namely ending the injustice that was caused in cases such as Quazi v. Quazi,2 where spouses with a link of domicile or habitual residence with England were deprived of financial relief on the recognition of their foreign divorce by an English court.
